Chapter 332 Substitutes
"Dangerous! Danger! Alkmaar full-back Suleiman inserted into the penalty area from the side, and the ball just rolled into his control. Grim has saved Ajax once, and this time he can save Ajax again... Ah..."
Before Evans's words fell, Suleiman rushed to the ball and pushed it gently, and the ball flew into the goal.
1:0.
Alkmaar scored, and full-back Suleiman scored the first goal in the Dutch Cup final.
There was silence in the stands. Nearly 30,000 Ajax fans opened their eyes and opened their mouths wide. They looked at the change of numbers on the scoreboard with disappointment. The opponent played as a substitute. They felt that their team had the hope of winning the championship, and they did not expect that the opponent would take the first goal.
After a moment of silence, Alkmaar's fans cheered, and their voices trembled with excitement, as if to announce that they had won one ear of the championship trophy.
Suleiman saw the ball into the net, and then ran crazily out of the field and shouted to the fans. Then the players also ran over and waved to the fans together.
The applause of Alkmaar fans in the stands was even more enthusiastic, and they also shouted the name "Suleiman".
Looking at the opponent's crazy celebration, Westhoff was extremely depressed. Before the game, he made full preparations, but he did not expect Jiang Mu to use so many substitutes, nor did he expect that the full-back to score the first goal.
Westhoff began to lack experience and did not make timely adjustments. As a result, he lost a goal first. Now he quickly let the players keep a good distance between the three lines, the back defense should be timely, and the front court is more aggressive, not giving the opponent such a fast counterattack time.
No head goes, and no head flies. At this time, the captain must stand up and speak with his feet to set an example for his teammates.
Veteran Zweig is the only remaining veteran of the team, the core of the midfield. In order to compete for the last honor, he must stand up and encourage his teammates.
It's useless to say more at this time. After a few simple words, Wittsger threw himself into the game. He was aggressive like a defender and went down like a winger. He was in the front and backcourt.
The captain went to do rough and dirty work. The Ajax players were very shocked. Driven by Wittsger, Ajax players became more active and were more fierce than the first 30 minutes. Under the pressure of Ajax, Alkmaar's backcourt was under great pressure. There were mistakes in long passes and more big feet. Drogba almost became a decoration in the front.
Ajax's active fight also got some opportunities to counterattack after breaking the ball, and the threat of attack is much higher than the previous one.
In the 39th minute of the game, Gattuso hurriedly passed back under the opponent's force. Martens had to open his foot under the force. As a result, the ball hit Lai and bounced in front of Ajax winger Babangida.
Babangida stopped the ball in the chest and volleyed directly. The ball flew to the goal like a cannonball.
Babangida's shot was too sudden and his strength was not small. The goalkeeper Cesar was caught off guard. When he reached out to block, the ball had already flown past him.
Cesar felt cold and thought it was over, but at this moment, there was a loud bang in his ear.
Silva looked back and the ball bounced back on the post.
There was a huge sigh in the stands, and all the Ajax people showed regret. Ajax was unlucky. Alkmaar escaped. The goalkeeper Cesar had disarmed, but the goalpost helped them, but Ajax, don't be impatient. Although the goalpost was a little unlucky, it was enough to show that their attack was more effective than before..."
Westhoff looked regretful. The sooner the ball is lost, the better. In the backward state, the psychological burden is too heavy, and the physical and mental consumption is also very serious. He waved his arms and let the players continue to rush and attack.
In the cheering of more than 30,000 fans, Ajax showed great enthusiasm, and Alkmaar had to shrink his defense back to keep the goal. In the same hard work, Ajax, with good technical cooperation and tacit understanding, obviously has the upper hand. In high-intensity games, their state has also been stimulated, and the originally rigid tactics have also become shining under personal improvisation.
In the 43rd minute, Ajax avoided the chase in the middle of Alkmaar through a series of short passes and passed the ball from near the middle circle to the front of the penalty area.
At the front of the penalty area, Alkmaar's defensive strength has increased significantly, and the space required to pass and carry the ball has been greatly reduced, but Ajax has been excited. At this time, he did not split the side, but directly carried out the penetration tactics in the middle.
The ball was passed to the foot of Babangida. Babangida felt that the foot was not too smooth, so he did not hit the goal directly, but gave it to his compatriot Olyseh, who hit the ball and shot.
The ball bounced back on the thigh of central defender Lucio, and the ball bounced at the feet of Babangida.
Babangida took the ball straight to Alkmaar's bottom line.
Olisekh's shot has interfered with Alkmaar's defense. Babangida's speed is extremely fast. Before Alkmaar's players have rearranged their lineup, the ball passed from the side into the penalty area.
Alkmaar defender Suleiman, who defended at the front point, did not touch the ball. Avilaze, who rushed behind Suleiman, grabbed this point, but his position deviated from the goal, and the near corner was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Avilaze's shot was very good at using his brain. He rubbed the ball with his toes, and the ball flew over the goalkeeper's head.
At this time, the goalkeeper Cesar was deceived by Avilaze. He saw Avilaze with his toes and thought he would stab him, but when he fell to the ground, the ball also flew up, and he could not get up and save.
However, the unfortunate thing happened again, and the inevitable goal bounced out on the crossbar.
Avilazawa saw that the ball hit the goalpost again. He was annoyed and kicked the post of Alkmaar's goal repeatedly to vent his anger.
"Ah! Another doorpost!"
"God, why are you biased? There is no goalpost, and now it has surpassed the score!"
According to the rules of football games, the final results of the teams that have repeatedly hit the post are very bad. Firefighting coach Westhoff hit a crossbar, sighed, covered his head and squatted on the ground. He was unlucky.
Jiang Mu is lucky. He is not satisfied with the performance of the players in these few minutes, but from the perspective of 40 minutes as a whole, Jiang Mu believes that the players have done a good job. It is not easy for a lineup of substitutes and main players to reach such a level. Ajax is not It's normal to equalize the score, but the important thing is the second half.
Two goal posts in a row in less than ten minutes, which made the Ajax players a little angry and impatient. Their attack was more fierce. At the end of the first half, the game was also played faster and more intensely.
In the few minutes of Ajax's crazy counterattack. Alkmaar returned to the "defensive counterattack" tactic. This is not an active defense, but because the opponent presses on the whole line, the gap between the three lines disappears, and there is no good gap in the attack.
This is Alkmaar's familiar tactic. Except for the goalkeeper, everyone actively rushes to grab, compresses the space, and defends layer by layer to prevent Ajax from passing the ball. Control it. Bring it up. Although Ajax played fiercely, it was not easy to break through Alkmaar's goal.
Van der Fate is getting more and more depressed. Since his debut, he has had this feeling of depression every time he plays Alkmaar. The opponent's space for him was too small, and his eyes were full of opponents. Finally, he got rid of the defense of the close Italian. But he didn't even dare to take more. Gattuso is the most difficult player he has ever seen in football, and he is half a beat. It may be re-entangled by him.
As soon as Van der Fate received the ball, Gattuso stuck to him and prevented him from turning to face the goal. Alkmaar's other players are in good position, and they cooperate well with each other. Van der Fart controls the ball but has no way out.
Van der Fart put the ball under his feet to prevent it from being snatched by the other side, hoping that his teammates would come and pick it up soon. But at this time, Van der Fart wanted to hide back, but he was held by Gatasso, and the ball was shoveled away.
It is the veteran La Yi who breaks the ball! His brave performance aroused a burst of cheers from Alkmaar fans.
The ball rolled to Lucio's feet, and Lucioma uploaded it to his compatriot Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho passed the ball directly.
The football flies to the right, which is where Kuite is.
"Dangerous! Kuit!"
Head coach Westhoff shouted.
The ball fell at a high point. The distance was just in front of Kuit, and there was no one in Kuit, and he was not offside, because the two Ajax central defenders were dragged behind.
Next, as long as Kuyt takes the ball. Then Alkmaar's counterattack is a big threat.
Kuyt accelerated his best to follow the ball until he was parallel to the penalty area.
! Ajax has only two people to defend. Alkmaar also has two out-the-the-go players, Drogba and Ronaldinho.
Kuyt didn't cross! He cut inside, because the cross is a two-to-two opportunity, while the cut is three to two.
The power of the winger's inner cut is here. As long as the side road is broken, the middle road may form a situation of playing more and less.
The fans in the audience stared at Kuyt. Everyone knows that Kuyt's performance will almost determine the outcome of the game.
Central defender Wilkrau had to go out to intercept Kuit, otherwise Kuit would face goalkeeper Grimm directly.
As for how De Kler dealt with Ronaldinho and Drogba, Virkrau didn't have time to care about it. He only defended with two people and attacked by three opponents. He had nothing he could do. The best result was that he could intercept the opponent's pass, or Kuite hit the goal directly.
As soon as he saw Wilkrau coming out, Kuyt did not hesitate to pass the ball out.
Now Verklau can only jump in a hurry, hoping to push the ball out. But he reacted slowly and the ball flew over his head!
There was someone around Drogba, and the ball was passed to unmarked Ronaldinho.
Kuit's ball passes a little slowly, because it is a high ball, but the ground ball is easy to be intercepted, and Kuit has no choice.
At this time, goalkeeper Grimm has attacked quickly, but Ronaldinho showed the delicate skills of Brazilian players at this time. He gently picked up the ball and picked out Grimm who attacked.
Grimm made the best effort. He reflexively waved his palm to block the ball, but he did not jump up and stretched out his arm to touch the ball.
After Xiao Luo picked the goalkeeper Grim, he volleyed directly into the air and hit the ball beautifully into the empty goal.
"goalgoalghoal... Ronaldinho! Pick the goalkeeper! A juggle-like goal! It's so beautiful... It's wonderful..."
The voice of the commentator was instantly drowned out by the cheers of the Alkmal people, the whole Germany. There was a celebration of the Alkmaar people at Hoipu Stadium.
At this moment, the whole game is just in the 45th minute.
